The Lemon Drops were one of those 60’s pop bands that disappeared from the musical map, with nearly everyone thinking that like so many, they’d gone up in flame. hen nothing could have been further from the truth. With a bit of help from the lysergic, a new vision, and a revamping of the band, the core of The Lemon Drops relocated to the west coast and re-surfaced as The Buzzsaw; a power trio featuring ex-Lemon Drops Eddie Weiss, Gray Weiss, along with Rick Fertel

The Lemon Drops were an American psychedelic pop band from Chicago, Illinois that formed in 1966. The band, originally established by high school students, produced one single in their heyday that reached regional success, but also recorded several other unreleased material that garnered the group's re-interest in the 1980s. During their existence, the band was an essential piece in the development of psychedelic pop in Illinois.

The Lemon Drops were a band from the northwest Chicago suburbs in McHenry County. Formed in the mid-1960s by the Weiss brothers and some other like-minded high school students, they were the recipients of a rather unique gift in that the older brother of two of the band members was a partner in the local label. Why someone had a cymbal but not a drum kit is an issue lost to history.
